We would recommend the trip from Banff through the Banff National Forest to anyone! It is a sight to behold - it's the most beautiful area we've ever seen. It's breathtaking! The mountains, blue sky, crystal clear streams makes for a beautiful ride! Don McClelland was right - he said it would be a beautiful ride and that it was!
It started out cold on the bike but we didn't mind with our heated suits! (thank you Dave!) And, of course, Porter's didn't mind - they were in the car where they could turn on the heat! ha, ha.
Please note picture of Randy in car. Tom and I insist they wear their helmets and roll all their windows down so they can get the full effect!
First stop was Lake Louise just north of Banff. What a beautiful sight - the lake with the mountains all around it. I hope our pictures do it justice!
The mountains smell great too. Lots of clean fresh air, pine and honeysuckle. I hope everyone gets to experience the ride sometime in your lifetime.
We met a gentleman from Florida riding to Alaska and another one from Maryland. All by themselves, but enjoying the ride. They didn't think we were crazy riding that far - there riding even farther!!
We saw black bear, mule & white tail deer and caribou today!
Hope all enjoyed their memorial day. 'til next time...........thanks for following along.
Tom, Sandy, Linda and Randy
PS Wish I was in as good shape as Robin Gigax and Gene Schaaf - both horse riders! I wish I would have thought to get in shape for this ride by riding with you on a horse the last few months!
